Re: stock CTS-v vs modded SHO

I just had a wonderful idea.

Turbo 3.2 SHO motor (can you turbo the 3.2 or is it just the 3.0L?) in an 88-94 Continental! You'd have Lincoln luxury, sleeper looks and massive amounts of power.

I don't know much about the SHO's, but damnit I love the first and second gens! Before I bought my '92, I looked at a '94 ATX SHO....it was very nice, but I didn't get to run it hard and I was pretty much dead set on a Caddy anyways.

Re: stock CTS-v vs modded SHO

wow your talking about a ford and a cadillac. Im speechless they arent even anywhere near the same class. The sho was fords top of the line, cadillacs top of the line would be IMO the STS-V now throw twin turbos, nitrous, port & polish, headers, exhaust, intake, and every other goody out there then we'll see what it's about. take the 235hp stock 1997 sho and put it up against a 300hp stock 1997 sts and i guarantee the results would be the same as the other setup i put above. Oh yeah and the only thing in fords class would be a chevy or a chrysler. If you wanna talk luxury speed we'd have to talk Cadillac Vs. Lincoln or i'll even go as low as Buick Vs. Mercury.

Hey goofball. It was 2 friends racing their pride and joy. While I have the fast, comfortable, warrantied Cadillac, he has the faster, somewhat comfortable, way way out of warranty EARLY 90s SHO. A 1997 is looked down upon by the V6 purists. Ford indeed dumbed down the Gen III SHO. What's your point? The point to this thread was simply a video of us.

Re: stock CTS-v vs modded SHO

You sound like a Bimmer or Mercedes owner asking if we're serious asking how cool a Caddy is. No, this thread is no joke.

The V and SHO are very similar in a lot of ways. I suggest you tone down your shock. There are a LOT of current and former SHO owners driving Vs...

I agree with you 100%. The SHO was and is a great car that was ahead of its time. There wasnt much on the street that could run with an SHO 5 speed in the late 80's early 90's. The 3rd gen was a joke though. I would love to have a 1st gen. I really dislike Ford products too.

I definetly respect that guys SHO as I am a fan of anything with a turbo (especially a one-off aftermarket conversion).
But please can someones V take him down?
An all-motor win would restore order to the universe.
I would love to se a new vid with a H/C LS6/2 taking out that turbo.
